STORY PORTFOLIO: February 13, 2008
Being the under-achiever that I am, I naturally chose the portfolio activity that requires the least effort. Thus, I chose the 50 word story. Here is what I came up with (mind you, I am not very creative as far as story-telling goes):

"Government cheese. The girl looks down at the cheese. There is a black spot on the cheese. Father is gone. No one is in the house. What happened to the people? She gets the feeling someone watches. The black spot is dark. The girl looks into the spot. An eye."

Yes, this is my desperate attempt to create a horror story. Most people who read it do not understand it, or think they understand it but really they don't.
I think this really did help me get my long dormant creative side going.
